The all new HTC One officially unveiled.
HTC finally officially unveiled the new HTC One (M8) at an event in
New York this evening and, guess what, the phone is already ready to hit
the shelf, weeks ahead of the launch of the Samsung S5.
But for fans here in the UAE, it would make no such difference as the
Samsung S5 is expected to be launched during the second week of April.
The HTC One could also hit the stores around the same time. Sony’s
Xperia Z2 with the 20 MP camera is also expected to retail in the UAE
around the third week of April, creating a very competitive atmosphere.
With an increased screen size, better battery and an immaculate
metallic body, the new One is sure to give Samsung a run for its money.
Although HTC has not officially announced the pricing here it is
expected to be priced at around Dh2500.
While most of the specs of the phone were already available before
the launch, thanks to innumerable leaks, HTC has introduced Motion View,
whereby you can open apps just by making a gesture imitating a swipe.
With the new Dot View case, that’s available at an additional $50, you
need not even open the screen to see the time and other notifications.
EARLIER REPORT
“We're in #NYC, ready to show the world how we're going "One Up"
the industry. See you tomorrow,” read a tweet from @HTC, the company’s
official twitter handle.
Multiple leaks on social media have revealed most of the details of
the new phone, even as HTC itself has released the Glimpse Feed launcher
and the service pack on Google Play.
The new phone hasa 5 inch display and is expected to be powered by
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and a 2.3GHz quad-core CPU, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB
internal storage and a micro SD slot which enables you to expand the
storage upto 128GB.
The phone will come with an ultrapixel duo camera – which according
to reports will have two different sensors - a 4MP sensor and a 16MP
sensor – for low light imaging, a 5Mp front facing camera, 28mm lens
with F2.0m wide angle lens with HDR capability, 1080p video recording
and HTC Zoe.
Apart from the processor the new phone will also have an improved 2,600mAh battery.
A Facebook user from Russia has already uploaded the pictures of unboxing the new HTC One M8.
Links for the pics uploaded onto Facebook.
Meanwhile, another website that even published 12 minute hands on
review of the new phone has been forced to remove the video from
YouTube.
Whether the all metallic body and sleek design of the new phone will help the company in terms of sales has to be seen.
The HTC One of 2013 too won several awards and was rated better than
Samsung but failed to gain the same numbers as Samsung S4 did.
